Processor, how to choose a processor based on your needs.

To choose processor first thing I decided is that I want to do with the computer in my case what I want is:

Virtualize multiple operating systems simultaneously, have a server, multimedia and data in continuous operation, run CAD programs and finite element.

In your case you should consider what you want to do with your computer.

Depending on my needs I think my processor should have power to throw multiple operating systems and programs and calculation cad, must consume little electricity because I will have always on, must incorporate virtualization technologies, as the media server does not need much power if you do not care.

With this data I will any online store to see what products sell me always try to look at least three stores to compare prices and products.

In my case I am left with two processors with the characteristics I want one of AMD's FX Series FX-8320 3.5Ghz 8X € 129 and one of Intel's Core i5-3570K 3.4Ghz € 189 I choose these two for several reasons:

Meet the technical specifications required of power and Virtualization.

The price is affordable to my pocket , although intel is me doing pretty budget.

Prices for these are more powerful long shot and power are no longer in relation to the price.

You can choose as many processors as you want.

Once you have chosen the processors will http://www.tomshardware.com/charts and within any framework charts processors processors that interest me and say that compare. Tomshardware performed comparative potential of the components in the matched conditions and more with a lot of different tools.
